00:00Moments.
00:01Look out the window, it's raining again, said Belgo lifting his cup of lemonade indifferently.
00:17I get really bored when it rains, he added turning to Sarah.
00:26Yes, I see a fine, warm summer rain, the millipede smiled.
00:36So when it rains you decide to be bored?
00:41What's there to decide, I can't stop the rain.
00:47You can stay bored or choose to do something about it.
00:52Hmm, okay, I'm already tired of being bored and I'd like to do something about it.
01:01So, what now?
01:06Oh, it's a matter of choice then.
01:10Well, maybe we could play finish, tell and guess?
01:19I don't know that game, Belgo shook his head.
01:25Would you like to learn?
01:28Sure, it sounds better than waiting for the sun, replied the cat enthusiastically.
01:35Great, the game goes like this.
01:39I say a sentence and you finish it and tell a short story.
01:46Then we switch roles and at the end we guess whether the stories are true or not.
01:55Sounds interesting, Belgo said after thinking.
02:01Can I go first?
02:04Sarah nodded sitting down on the carpet and then said.
02:10Alright, finish the sentence.
02:15If summer could speak, it would…
02:22The cat started looking around, glanced out the window, sat next to Sarah and began to tell a story.
02:33If summer could speak, it would tell about summer storms that bring relief on hot days and fill the air with a fresh scent of rain.
02:46Just like the day when my mom and I went searching for a tiny treasure chest buried in the Bieszczady forest, under an old oak tree.
02:57We took a flashlight, water, two little shovels and a map that grandpa had given mom.
03:07Mom also had a compass to keep from getting lost in the forest.
03:13I wonder why, since she knew the forests so well.
03:18She showed me how to use the sun's position in the sky to estimate the time before dusk.
03:26It's good to know when to turn back to make it home in time.
03:31She also taught me that moss, as a plant that avoids intense sunlight, grows most intensely on the northern side of a tree trunk.
03:44She made me realize that the forest teaches us to pay attention to every detail, because even though everything seems very similar or the same, nothing is exactly like that.
04:01The tree trunks have different angles relative to the ground.
04:08The paths are trampled differently and the density of trees changes with each step.
04:17Just like the variety of birds that mom can recognize by the songs.
04:23We wandered for about three hours before we came to a clearing hidden in a forest.
04:31In the middle of it stood the oak and next to it the embers of a campfire were still smouldering surrounded by a high pile of stones.
04:45She taught me that campfires bring smiles to the people gathered around them, that you can roast sweet marshmallows there and that it's a wonderful way for people to come closer together.
05:02Mom was so surprised to see the campfire that she forgot to take out the map with a clear direction to the chest.
05:12She looked around for a long time, grabbed a shovel and quickly started digging where the oak stood.
05:23She asked me to help her find it.
05:28Sarah's eyes grew wider and wider with amazement and when Belgu stopped talking, she almost resented.
05:41The cat, however, waited for her story to be told.
05:49Come on, now it's your turn, Sarah. Finish, tell and guess.
05:54If the sea could speak, it would, he asked, turning to his friend.
06:03After a long moment, Sarah began to tell her story seeing that the cat wouldn't budge in his desire for her to finish the story about the chest under the oak in the forest.
06:18If the sea could speak, it would tell about the gentle sound of waves that rocked us on the sea during a seven-day cruise on a ship.
06:32We went on that trip with Bella.
06:37On the fourth day, the captain decided to stop in a coastal zone, a place that you could rarely see swimming dolphins.
06:47The captain said that dolphins choose clean places guided by the good intentions of people, so if we have any good wishes, this is the right place to say them, quietly in face of the water.
07:05He told us how his close friend supposedly regained his health while immersing in his water.
07:13That's when I made my wish and Bella made hers.
07:19The captain took the steering wheel and a moment later, right in front of a ship's bow, a beautiful family of dolphins emerged from the water.
07:34And it is this sight, dolphins bathed in sunlight, that I often remember on days like today.
07:44And she closed her eyes for a moment to recall her wish.
07:54Sarah, I don't know if your story is true or not, but I want to hear more.
08:02And thank you, rain, he continued looking out the window, for boredom that doesn't have to be boring at all.
08:16The sky had turned a light blue and white.
08:22It became warm and pleasant.
08:26If summer could speak, it would tell of pleasant days spent in meadows where children run barefoot and laugh without worries.
08:37Of exceptional nights under a starry sky.
08:43Of looks filled with emotions.
08:47Summer would also say that nothing is given to us forever.
08:52Not boredom, not health, not creativity in making up stories.
08:59It would also tell of moments frozen in time that stay in our memories forever.
09:08Like now, exactly in this moment, when Belgu smiles at Sarah and she returns the smile,
09:17asking how many more raindrops will fall to hold on to this moment for longer.
09:25Sarah walks to the window and, looking at the raindrops gently touching the windowsill, asks,
09:37Belgu, maybe we could play a game of counting raindrops now?
09:46Delighted with the idea, Belgu starts counting.
